The method to reset the maintenance indicator light on FAW Besturn X40 is: 1. Press and hold both arrow buttons simultaneously, then turn on the ignition switch; 2. Release both arrow buttons after approximately 3 seconds; 3. Press and hold the SET button for more than 3 seconds, then press the MODE button; 4. Turn off the ignition switch to complete the process. Taking the 2019 FAW Besturn X40 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4310mm, width 1780mm, height 1680mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The 2019 FAW Besturn X40 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 84kW and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Resetting the maintenance reminder light on the FAW Besturn X40 is quite simple—I used to do it myself regularly. The usual method is: First, turn off the engine and sit in the driver's seat. Locate the Trip button on the right side of the instrument panel, hold it down, then turn the key to the ACC position (the second position without starting the engine). Keep holding for 5-10 seconds until the light blinks and turns off, indicating the maintenance interval has been reset. If it doesn’t work the first time, it might be due to poor button contact or low battery voltage—try repeating the process or doing it at another time. In real life, don’t ignore this light—it reminds you to change the oil. Neglecting it can increase engine wear and lead to costly repairs. I find it best to reset it immediately after each service to avoid distractions while driving. If unsure, check the owner’s manual for detailed model-specific instructions, or simply visit a 4S shop and let a technician handle it for convenience.
